Lot of vintage metal charms marine fish star theme for DIY jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of eight antique metal charms, all visible in the photo, intended for creating or customizing costume jewelry. Each charm features a distinct shape, associated with marine and whimsical themes: a ship's wheel, a starfish, a stylized fish, a round medal-like piece, a pear-shaped pendant, a shell motif stamped "SAN MARINO," and two abstract or animalistic shapes. The charms display a characteristic patina of use typical of vintage accessories, with shades ranging from silvery gray to aged metal.

The details of each charm are clearly visible: the ship's wheel is finely openwork, the starfish is adorned with small reliefs, the geometric fish has engraved diamond patterns, while the round medal shows a female profile and a partially legible inscription surrounding the portrait. The shell features a radiating decor, typical of tourist medals, and the pear is entirely convex, with a smooth and shiny surface.

The set is presented in bulk, allowing for observation of the surface condition of each charm. Some pieces show traces of oxidation or tarnishing, particularly on the large abstract charm at the bottom of the image, testifying to their age and authenticity. The attachments (rings) are present on each visible element, ready to be mounted on a bracelet, a necklace, or any other creative jewelry support.

This lot of accessories is ideal for DIY enthusiasts, for repairing costume jewelry, or for adding a retro touch to personalized compositions. The motifs evoke the marine world, exoticism, and travel, with a diversity of shapes that allows for many aesthetic combinations.

The patina and micro-scratches visible on some sides reinforce the vintage character of the charms. No major chips or structural defects are observable on the visible sides, but the set shows signs of wear consistent with previous use.
